TRAVEL TO GIVE BACK Whether it’s ecotourism, indigenous


travel or voluntourism, more travellers across the globe are setting aside time while on holiday to connect with local people and contribute in a meaningful way. Local agency STA Travel works with a


range of non-profits or NGOs to support their conservation and humanitarian efforts. Its range of voluntourism packages includes a trip to a lush forested setting in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which is home to around 30 rescued elephants that were previously abused in the tourist trade. Visitors have the opportunity to feed, bath and look after the pachyderms. You could also teach English to


children in one of the poorest areas of Siem Reap, Cambodia, or volunteer at a nature reserve in Sarawak, Malaysia, designed to raise awareness of the conservation of orangutans. Visit: www.statravel.com

LITTERATI FOR A LITTER-FREE WORLD It started with one person picking up a piece of trash. Now a global army


of environmentally conscious people is working together to crowd-source cleaning the planet. Litterati is a mobile app that provides insight and geotags to identify areas


where there’s a large amount of rubbish. This information’s then used to rally individuals, companies and organisations to unite in tackling the problem of pollution, one piece of garbage at a time. There are currently more than 60 000 registered users in 115 countries on the app, all working together to make one giant impact. Visit: www.litterati.org
